Cool Runnings!!!! Israel Wins First Ever Medal in Skeleton!

Bradley Chalupski, celebrating his win andholding a (frozen) piece of Israeli history

In 1980, at the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, NY we witnessed the
“Miracle on Ice” – the amazing win by a young U.S. hockey team over the
feared Soviet squad. It is one of, if not the most celebrated
underdog story in modern sports history. Three decades later, we still
believe in miracles. Israel is making a name for itself in a sport whose
field consists of more ice in one section than there is in all of
Israel! When one thinks of Israel, they think Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, the
Galilee, even the Negev desert – certainly not ideal training grounds
for a serious winter sport. Naysayers be damned, Israel did it! The Israel Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation just announced
that with a 5th place finish in the weekend’s America’s Cup race in
Lake Placid, NY, skeleton athlete Bradley Chalupski has earned Israel
her first ever medal in Skeleton!

“It’s an incredible honor to win a medal for an entire nation. I feel thankful, proud and amazing,” said Chalupski.

David Greaves, the Secretary-General of the Israeli Bobsleigh and
Skeleton Federation, had this to say: “As a former athlete member of the
IBSF, my role now as volunteer is to help in any way that I can and to
assist young Jewish athletes hoping to represent Israel in the sports
of Bobsled and Skeleton. If these great young athletes can take away
even half the of what I got out of my experience as an athlete, then
all our work with be well worth it. News of Bradley’s first medal and
our Federation’s first ever skeleton Medal will now sit alongside our
bobsled medals and will help blaze a trail for other you athletes.
Bradley and Israel and all Jewish sports enthusiasts should be proud, as
I am. Mazal tov Brad.”

ACT NOW for ISRAEL: Flush ‘LUSH’ Cosmetics!

LUSH Cosmetics has quietly closed its Beverly Hills, California location several months after a group known as “Join the Boycott LA” (www.JTBLA.com) organized a protest outside the store to expose the company’s support of PLO extremism. LUSH, with headquarters in the UK and stores in over 40 countries around the world, is using its customers’ money to support the PLO’s extremist “One World Campaign”. This virulently anti-Israel organization portrays Israel as an “illegal” occupier committing crimes against “Palestine” and grossly exaggerates the suffering in Gaza, placing responsibility solely on the Israelis.

There is much more work to be done. We urge you to ACT NOW FOR ISRAEL by sending an email to customercare@lush.co.uk to protest their anti-Israel extremism.

It has come to our attention that LUSH, a leading luxury handmade cosmetics company, gives a percentage of its profits to an anti-Israel organization called “OneWorld”. Upon visiting the OneWorld website (http://freedomoneworld.org/), it is very clear that they are supported by extreme anti-Israel groups that are sympathetic to terrorist activity against the State of Israel. For example, one of the supporting groups is called “Friends of al-Aqsa”. Visiting their website speaks for itself: http://www.foa.org.uk/.
